Gaza Recycled - Defying The Effects Of Israeli Blockade
GAZA STRIP - MARCH 23: Palestinians collect plastic to be sold for recycling from a landfill March 23, 2010 at the Gaza and Israel border. Hamas' Ministry of Economics reportedly decreed that it is illegal for factories to use recycled plastics in order to make their products due to health regulations. Factory owners must purchase all pre-molded plastic via the smuggling tunnels from Egypt. Pre-molded plastic from Egypt costs factories nearly three times as much to purchase than the recycled plastic. The blockade of Gaza has lead to new and innovative ways to recycle materials in order to supply demands, but often at the exploitation of the unemployed who make 7-14 US dollars per day collecting, processing or selling the materials.
